Chapter 413: Intelligence Leader Xia Mengyu
On August 9, the fifteenth year of Zhongxing, the command center of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the declaration of war, Chen Shao and the staff in the command center had a simple breakfast together.
At this time, the command center was much less staffed, and many generals returned to their respective units, waiting for orders to attack.
After the war began, Chen Shao spent half of his day here. The state affairs are basically left to Zhongli and Weiren to deal with, and he only goes to inquire every day. The big thing is up to him, and the two of them will handle all the rest.
Chen Shao believes in their ability, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on himself. There is one thing that he is already beginning to arrange.
Unlike usual, at this time, he would have been bound to pay attention to the progress of the war. And today, he met with a man alone, someone who had always been by his side. This person has been of great help to Chen Shao, and his loyalty has reached 100%.
Jian San, that was the previous name, since the cyborg had his own name, this name has disappeared, and now his name is Xia Mengyu. And now I have a family, and my life is exactly the same as that of a normal person.
And his mission has not changed, Jian Er went to Europe, James went to the United States, and Xia Mengyu stayed in China as the director of the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau. To put it colloquially, it is the head of China's military intelligence, who leads China's intelligence agencies throughout the country. Even the fourth person who manages the business intelligence bureau has to obey his command, which can be said to be a high authority.
Compared with the famous intelligence boss Dai Lidai in later generations, his reputation is not obvious. Even many people at the top of China still don't know that there is still such a person in China. Those who know are those who have been in contact with him, such as Yan Xishan, who is currently the Minister of Public Security of China, and the two of them have cooperated many times and know each other.
Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, Chen Fuqin, and Chen Shaokuan also know that after all, they are also military generals, and they have cooperated with the Military Intelligence Bureau many times, so it is not surprising that they know each other. As for the others, it is simply not known that there are such figures.
Those who knew Xia Mengyu had been warned by Chen Shao and were strictly forbidden to disclose it to anyone. It's anyone.
When a person who is engaged in intelligence becomes known. That would be the loss of his job.
The spies know this better than anyone else, and they also pay a lot of attention to this, even Xia Mengyu's wife and children don't know what he does at this time. Just know. He was an official of the imperial government. But what exactly is the position. I don't know what it does. All that is known is that he is well paid. You can get a lot of bonuses every year.
The biochemical spy was originally a spy from the beginning, and many of them were given by instinct. As a high-level spy, although Xia Mengyu is not as good as a perfect-level spy like James in some aspects, they can also improve themselves through acquired learning.
Early this morning, he received a summons from Chen Shao, and he hurried over before he finished breakfast. Chen Shao rarely summons him, but every time he is summoned, there are big events, especially at times like this, which are even rarer.
However, when he came to the command center, Chen Shao did not immediately give him the task, but asked him to tell him about the situation of domestic material reserves.
"After more than ten years of preparation, the empire has 1,200 super-large material warehouses, of which 800 are built underground, with powerful defense facilities, which can withstand high-intensity earthquakes and frontal attacks of any kind of heavy aerial bombs. The four hundred are early warehouses built on the ground, and their defense is average.
In this 1,200 super-large material warehouses, everything from food and clothing to various types of weapons and equipment are fully equipped. The proximity to the borders and military districts allows for the rapid replenishment of troops.
In various parts of China, there are also a total of 8,000 large warehouses and small and medium-sized warehouses, half of which are secret military warehouses, and there are very few people in the know. Like super-large warehouses, these warehouses are also very complete and full.
As for the foreign trade warehouses of the empire, the thousand large warehouses that were once full have now been emptied, and even a large warehouse with gas masks has been emptied. There are still 500 such warehouses, which will be enough for the next year's military trade. ”
Xia Mengyu said very carefully, since it was discovered that there were warehouses full in Mongolia, Chen Shao asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to pay attention to the military material reserves at all times. And the Military Intelligence Agency did not disappoint Chen Shao, and after killing some officials to make an example, this kind of thing did not happen again. For the time being.
"In other words, our military trade over the years has only consumed two-thirds of our military trade reserves." Chen Shao's fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the chair and said calmly.
"Yes!" Xia Mengyu, who was sitting opposite Chen Shao, immediately replied.
"At present, military factories have begun to stop producing weapons and equipment for the arms trade, and they have begun to produce new weapons and equipment. Do you say that these 500 warehouses are enough for the Germans? While asking Xia Mengyu this question, Chen Shao was also asking himself.
Three years have passed since the war, and China has thus earned enough benefits in all aspects, not only in arms and trade. There are also cultural relics in the Chinese History Museum in Hanjing, which are all benefits obtained by China in this war. Some things are worth more than money.
Of course, the Chinese side has paid a lot, a thousand large warehouses, until according to the classification of material warehouses in China. The materials that can be loaded in a large warehouse are enough for a tent with an abacus in hand to sleep for ten days and half a month.
Such a huge number of people have been emptied by the Axis powers in the past three years, which shows the huge amount of transactions. You know, even if tens of millions of rifles are put into these warehouses, at most they will only fill dozens of warehouses.
Moreover, it is necessary to count the equipment that was immediately produced and sold by China's military factories in the past, so Chen Shaocai was asking if 500 warehouses were enough.
"It's hard to say about this problem, with the current intensity of the war, these warehouses can only last for a year and a half. If the United States increases its military assistance to the Allies, this time will be reduced by half a year. Xia Mengyu thought about it carefully and replied.
"In other words, these weapons warehouses can last at least a year?" This answer is similar to Chen Shao's own estimate, in fact, according to the current situation of China's military trade, a large warehouse can be emptied every day, and once Germany and Japan need to increase orders, this number will increase a lot. Even in one day, it is not surprising that the supplies of two large warehouses were transported away.
As for how long it can last, it depends on Chen Shao's future decision or the change in the form of the world.
"The material reserve warehouse is a matter of overall concern, and the intelligence department must keep an eye on it at all times, and report it immediately if anyone dares to neglect their duties or enrich their own pockets." Chen Shao spoke again.
At home, Chen Shao did not give the intelligence department the power to take life and death, and everything had to be reported, unless Chen Shao gave them temporary privileges.
"Yes!"
"There is another thing that called you over today, what is the highest position of our secret intelligence officer in the Southeast Asian Allied Forces?" The topic began to shift to business, which was the purpose of Chen Shao's call to Xia Mengyu.
"At present, we have sixteen high and low spies in the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, and the highest-ranking one is the Allied Major General." Xia Mengyu has always been well aware of the divisions of these personnel, and he doesn't need to recall too much about Chen Shao's problems.
Not only here, but also how many spies are in and around the country, he knows very well. It's his professional instinct and it's something he has to know at all times.
"Will he be able to see Mountbatten at any time?" Chen Shao said.
"There's no problem with that." Xia Mengyu replied.
"Has he activated it?" Chen Shao asked again, he wanted to know a little more detailed.
"It has never been activated, and at the moment our intelligence comes from other spies lurking in the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, and he has not been activated yet. If His Majesty were to arrange for him to carry out any secret mission, I am sure he would be able to complete it perfectly. Xia Mengyu said.
"Okay, you go back and make arrangements, and be ready to use him at any time." Chen Shaodao.
"Yes, I'll go right away. Does Your Majesty have anything else to explain? Xia Mengyu said.
"There is one more thing that must be done as soon as possible, the German side is going to send a Hitler delegation to China, and I promised Hitler to let them visit our military factories. You immediately have someone arrange for them to take care of everything they shouldn't be looking at for a while. Chen Shao thought for a while and then said: "The location is in the Eighth Military Factory north of Hanjing, let the employees pay attention to it!" ”
After Chen Shao finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled that Xia Mengyu could leave.
"Yes!" The latter nodded, then got up and left.
The Germans want to visit the military factory, which Chen Shao does not mind, and they have not visited it less before. However, this time is different from the past, China has achieved rich results in Southeast Asia in one day, and many new weapons and equipment have also been exposed.
Especially the Chinese rifle, although they all knew that the shape of the new Chinese rifle was very "avant-garde", they did not know the performance of this rifle. Now as soon as the war began, China showed its characteristics of strong individual firepower. This is also the reason why Hitler offered to visit the arsenal.
Now Chen Shao is selling semi-automatic rifles to Germany, and even the Japanese are equipped with semi-automatic rifles on a small scale. As for assault rifles, Chen Shao will never sell them. Even if the Soviet Union really got the AK-47 out, Chen Shao would not sell it, at most he would sell the AK-47, and he would definitely not sell the Chinese-made rifle.
As for the visit to Germany, it is estimated that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to remind China that I have discovered your new weapons, so don't hide your smuggling. It's a very tactful approach, but it doesn't work at all when it is put on Chen Shao. As for saying it directly, I don't know if I can convince Chen Shao.
After Xia Mengyu went out, Chen Shao grabbed the phone and dialed a number that only he knew.
"Hey! Wang Yunshan ....... ”
